hmm lets see if i remember basic atomic theory
lets start by saying they both created atomic models on how the atom should look
Thomson thought of the idea of electrons and protons to be found in the nucleus of the atom ( imagine a chocolate chip but instead of chips you have electrons and protons, and instead of a cookie its a nucleus)
Rutherford came later and performed the famous Gold foil test where he bombarded radiation on gold foil to see if the electrons went through
however some did and some did not
which led him to believe there was a cloud of electrons as opposed to electrons inside the nucleus
